Ingredients
  

For the Pie Crust
  • 2 pack Refrigerated Pie Crust A convenient option that ensures a flaky texture.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Avoid pumpkin pie filling as it’s too watery.
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar Adds sweetness and a hint of caramel.
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream Can be substituted with milk for a lighter option.
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger if needed.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Enhances the overall flavor beautifully.
For the Assembly
  • 1 large Egg For the egg wash that gives the pies a golden finish.
  • 2 tbsp Coarse Sugar An optional topping for added sweetness.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the pie crusts gently and cut them into 3½-inch pumpkin shapes, then set them aside in the refrigerator.
  3. Combine the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto half of the pumpkin cutouts, leaving a bit of space around the edges.
  5. Vent the remaining cutouts by cutting decorative slits into them.
  6. Assemble your pies by brushing the edges of the filled cutouts with egg wash, placing the slitted ones on top, and crimping the edges.
  7. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar for extra crunch.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
